“Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.” Proverbs 3:25.
“Brady disclosure consists of exculpatory or impeaching information and evidence that is material to the guilt or innocence or to the punishment of a defendant. The term comes from the 1963 U.S. Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland,[1] in which the Supreme Court ruled that suppression by the prosecution of evidence favorable to a defendant who has requested it violates due process.”
The DoJ\DNC has denied its political enemies evidence on countless occassions that would exhonerate them.
“You fast, but Satan does not eat. You labor fervently, but Satan never sleeps. The only dimension with which you can outperform Satan is by aquiring humility, for Satan has no humility.”
-St. Moses the Black.
…
If the love is not experienced by the heart, no matter how many novels and poems you read, it will remain as a theory.
Likewise, in theology, no matter how much you talk about meeting God, it won’t be of any use, until you meet God in your heart, until you experience His love in your heart.

So far its been a trying one. I started a comic, I might be able to finish it while I’m… at another office. During this time, I haven’t had time to work on a comic. Very busy with extra service(s), and zoom meetings; more prayer.
As I get older I realize my new issue is I am running out of time. Every time I look at a clock its an hour later that I thought. There is so much to do today.
I also to have some good news regarding my card game. It would be great to finish it and make a little extra money, the have my team make more content. I’m thinking an animated series and\or more games.
Far away from the material world where Satan is the Prince of this world, I will end with this.
From 1st John, Chapter 1:
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Here is a Lenten Gift! The prayer of St. Ephraim:
“O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant. Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou, unto ages of ages. Amen.”
I am still “away”. I should try to make a comic a week, If I find the time. Work is requiring me to work late. Then working out. Also, trying to learn another language as well, THAT isn’t time consuming, but it is adding another iron on the fire.
I haven’t worked on the game in month. I know what to do, it involves some design work. It’s the “patch” which fixes the Alpha print run. I would like to play test more, but who has the time for that? Church is taking a large portion of my time thankfully, it gives life purpose. Will I be ‘saved’ in that day of dread judgement? I don’t know, but I’m there for healing and service to others. It is a good thing to serve others. I cannot help “the stranger” as that is beyond what I can do, but I can help my neighbor and my Brothers and Sisters in Christ with what I do there. Nothing fancy, but there is so much that needs to be done.
I shall return.
